How large is the FULL install of TexLive?
Reserved disc space for MiKTeX and/or TeX Live:
Basic Installation: takes minimum of 1.2GB
Full Installation: takes minimum of 4.5GB, but usually less than 5.5GB
Recommended Installation reserves 3.2GB.
I recommend a full installation, so all packages are installed, in case one has no internet connection.
For a full TeXLive:
voss@shania:~> du -h /usr/local/texlive/2016/
[...]
4,9G /usr/local/texlive/2016/
The following screenshot of SpaceSniffer provides us with the details visually.
TeXLive 2020 full installation needs about 7.2GB where
- Fonts take about 2.9GB
- Documentation takes about 2.7GB
- Others take about 1.6GB.
Bonus question: Every year it increases by xGB
